If you get scam texts, just send them to 7726. After that, share what happened on here. That’s really all you need to do! You can find out loads more about reporting scams by searching for 7726 or '[email protected]'. The police and Ofcom rely on people reporting these scams to get a clear picture of how bad the problem really is. Honestly, hardly anyone reports these scams, so no one really knows how many calls, texts, or emails come through the UK every day trying to con folks.

I just let it keep ringing and didn’t leave any message.

Got a call from someone about PCP car finance, sounded dodgy and they had an Indian accent. Didn't wanna deal with it so just ended the call straight away.

This number rang me a bit earlier but I ignored it. I’ve heard lately that these scammers call pretending to do surveys, but really they want to get your voice recorded. Then, apparently, they use AI to apply for credit or loans using that recording. So, my advice is the same as mine: don’t pick up calls from numbers you don’t know.

Got a call but they didn’t leave any voicemail. Phone flagged it as a scam.

I try to pick up but they just never answer back.

Got calls from them several times today, and they actually knew my name. Said it was about loft insulation or something. The guy sounded like he was from India.

No sound at all when I picked up. Feels like some sort of scam call to me.

Got a text from Monzo but I don’t even have an account with them, so it’s definitely some kind of scam.

Got a call but no one spoke, feels like spam so I blocked it straight away.

I mentioned something about needing a fix done in my flat.

Got a call about housing issues but the person didn’t say who they were or what organisation they worked for. I only got asked three questions, which I replied to with "No," then they just ended the call. Total waste of time. Wouldn't recommend picking up or ringing back. Seems like a definite scam.

Got a call earlier but no voicemail left, so I’m guessing it was just another spammer trying their luck.

Got a call from a number I didn’t recognise, and my phone warned me it might be a scam. Definitely unsolicited.

Somebody rang up saying they were from the local energy office. Didn’t even let them say more, just hung up straight away.

Got a call from some dodgy folks pretending to be from a housing repair service. Definitely sounded like a scam to me.

Didn’t pick up when some random number called, so just went ahead and blocked it.

I quickly ended the call and checked this site to see if it was some kind of housing scam – turns out it was, just like others said. Definitely a scam, so I didn’t waste any more time.

19th Oct 2026, 4pm Looks like these lot really research their stuff. It wasn’t just some random text, they’d even posted on a local community Facebook group I follow. Example: EasyJet £278.91 charge. Seriously, be careful folks. Don’t take anything at face value – verify it properly, then double-check just to be sure.

Got a call about my Apple account being “temporarily locked” – total phishing scam, don’t fall for it!

Total scam, definitely ignore and report it. Got a call from that number just now, 15:12 to be exact. Looks like loads of others have been checking it out too.

Got a voicemail about my supposed Three contract, promising me a better deal. Thing is, I’m not even a Three customer. Best just ignore these calls.

Got a call from 01156839628 today – turns out it’s just another digital marketing firm. Seems there’s loads of them out there using this number!

They called but as soon as the voicemail picked up, they hung up. Didn’t bother leaving any message.

They kept ringing me non stop and then left this really horrible threatening message on my voicemail. I had no choice but to disconnect the landline.
